Process for increasing solid content in styrene-butadiene latex
Thread Content
I have a question for the experts: Since styrene-butadiene latex contains a high amount of moisture, and I want to increase this moisture content from 20% to 40%, by using a vacuum unit to reach a pressure of -0.098 MPa and heating the material to around 50-60 degrees Celsius, how many kilograms of moisture can be removed per hour? Also, is it necessary to add a condenser in front of the vacuum unit? How significant is the difference between with and without it? Experts are welcome to join the discussion!
This needs to be calculated; whether a condenser should be added in front of the vacuum unit depends on whether a large amount of styrene-butadiene latex will be produced
If the original poster is interested, they can add me on WeChat at kk470878679 or on QQ at 3225774384 to discuss it
For example, in a 2m3 reactor containing 1 ton of styrene-butadiene latex, if the solid content is to be increased from 20% to 40%, how much water can be removed in about one hour? Also, can a portion of the styrene-butadiene latex be removed as well? If it can be removed, what methods should be used to avoid it? Or should we ignore it?
